VMware Security Advisory 2009-0009

Posted Jul 13, 2009

Authored by VMware | Site vmware.com

VMware Security Advisory - A vulnerability in the udev program did not verify whether a NETLINK message originates from kernel space, which allows local users to gain privileges by sending a NETLINK message from user space. Sudo versions 1.6.9p17 through 1.6.9p19 do not properly interpret a system group in the sudoers file during authorization decisions for a user who belongs to that group, which might allow local users to leverage an applicable sudoers file and gain root privileges by using a sudo command. The redirect implementation in curl and libcurl 5.11 through 7.19.3, when CURLOPT_FOLLOWLOCATION is enabled, accepts arbitrary Location values, which might allow remote HTTP servers to trigger arbitrary requests to intranet servers, read or overwrite arbitrary files by using a redirect to a file: URL, or execute arbitrary commands by using a redirect to an scp: URL.

Ubuntu Security Notice 722-1

Authored by Ubuntu | Site security.ubuntu.com

Ubuntu Security Notice USN-722-1 - Harald Koenig discovered that sudo did not correctly handle certain privilege changes when handling groups. If a local attacker belonged to a group included in a "RunAs" list in the /etc/sudoers file, that user could gain root privileges. This was not an issue for the default sudoers file shipped with Ubuntu.

Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 200902-1

Posted Feb 6, 2009

Authored by Gentoo | Site security.gentoo.org

Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 200902-01 - A vulnerability in sudo may allow for privilege escalation. Harald Koenig discovered that sudo incorrectly handles group specifications in Runas_Alias (and related) entries when a group is specified in the list (using %group syntax, to allow a user to run commands as any member of that group) and the user is already a member of that group. Versions less than 1.7.0 are affected.
